​

We invite you

to worship with us!​

​

  • PARKING - A small parking lot is located next to the church and can be accessed from River Street, which runs behind the church building. Ample on-street parking can also be found on East Main Street and Dock Street. Parking is also available in both Sovereign Bank and M&T Bank parking lots (Sunday mornings only).

​

  • ENTERING THE CHURCH - You may use either entrance doors on the front of the building. Once inside, you will find a friendly greeter who will direct you to the Sanctuary, which is located on Level Two (or the Chapel on Level One if our service is being held there). If you need the elevator, they will assist you. Restrooms are located on the Ground Level.

​

  • ENTERING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - An usher will give you a worship bulletin to guide you through the service. Children's activity bags are also available. Offering plates are located on a stand inside each Sanctuary entrance (or just outside the Chapel).

​

  • DURING THE SERVICE - Please be mindful that the service is being recorded for those who are viewing online. If we are celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the elements (bread and wine/juice) will be distributed by the ushers. The Mite Family Room is available in the rear of the Sanctuary for those who have difficulty sitting for longer periods of time. 

​

  • LEAVING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - At the end of the service, you may spend a few moments in prayerful reflection during the postlude music or exit using either of the stairwells. If you need the elevator, an usher will assist you.

FROM THE

CONSISTORY PRESIDENT

November 2026

Since I retired in June, I have started to focus more on being a volunteer. For me, volunteering is an amazing way to feel connected, and a significant number of studies show many advantages to volunteering including:

​

  • Improving mental health – Volunteering can significantly reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, thereby enhancing overall happiness.

  • Improving physical health – Engaging in volunteer activities is linked to lower mortality rates and improved physical well-being.

  • Increasing social connections – Volunteering fosters new friendships and strengthens community ties, creating a sense of belonging.

  • Developing new skills – Volunteers often gain valuable skills and experiences that can stimulate mental acuity.

  • Providing a sense of purpose – Many volunteers report a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose in life, which contributes to improved quality of life.

 

Although filled with activities and events, the holiday season can be a very lonely time for some. So get connected! Think about ways that you can volunteer to improve your church, your community, and your life. Consider inviting someone to worship with us or join us for one of our special events. Phone or visit with a member or friend you may not have seen recently. Send a card or text to someone letting them know that you are thinking about them and that God loves them. Pray for our church and community. Worship reminds us that we matter to God. Community reminds us that we matter to each other.
